Lily James is getting back to work on Monday afternoon, seen on the set of her new movie Swiped.
The 35-year-old British actress plays Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd in the film, which is inspired by her epic rise as the youngest ever female billionaire.
Production began on the biopic in late March, expected to continue until July 9, with James spotted last week at Pomona College in Claremont, California.
The actress was spotted donning a grey shirt with red and white stripes under a brown coat for her day on the set.
Her auburn locks flowed past her shoulders as she checked her phone while walking through the set.

The actress was spotted donning a grey shirt with red and white stripes under a brown coat for her day on the set.
She completed her look with dark blue jeans and brown boots as she chatted with a crew member after arriving on set.
The film was announced back in March, with the report from Deadline stating that it will be ‘inspired’ by Wolfe Herd’s true story, and won’t be ‘based’ on her actual life.
There is no indication yet on how the film will differ from the actual rise of Wolfe Herd, who got her entrepreneurial start in her early 20s at Tinder.
She was credited with changing the name from the initial MatchBox to Tinder, and helped grow its user base on college campuses during her tenure as Marketing VP.
She left the company in 2014 after two years, and filed a sexual harassment lawsuit later that year, receiving more than $1 million plus stock in the settlement.
Wolfe Herd moved to Austin in 2015 and founded Bumble, the female-focused dating app that had over 80 million matches in its first year alone.
She took Bumble public in 2021, with Forbes calling her the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire at just 31 years of age.
Wolfe Herd stepped down as Bumble CEO in November 2023 to take an executive chair role, with Slack’s Lidiane Jones replacing her.
